Chris Haffer, PhD '93 (Public Policy)
After 25 years with CMS, Dr. Haffer will be moving in November 2017 into the Senior Executive Service and to become the first Chief Data Officer and Director of the Office of Research, Information and Planning of the U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission. "The EEOC is a bi-partisan Commission whose mission is to enforce the laws prohibiting employment discrimination and promote equal opportunity in the workplace."
When Christy Ford Chapin, associate professor of history, began teaching at UMBC in 2012, she started by connecting curious students with the history of the American health care system. Her first book, Ensuring America’s Health, was an in-depth history of the country’s health care and health insurance system. This fall, as the recipient of a prestigious Kluge Fellowship, Chapin is immersed in the banking and finance collections at the U.S. Library of Congress, rather than in conversation with her students. While the archives are not quite as action-packed as the classroom, her enthusiasm for digging into the nitty gritty of U.S. history remains contagious.
